Ethanol Extract of Cudrania tricuspidata Leaf Ameliorates Hyperuricemia in Mice via Inhibition of Hepatic and Serum Xanthine Oxidase Activity

Figure 3

Relative activity of hepatic (a) and serum (b) xanthine oxidase (XO) after the oral administration of saline in normal mice (NOR) and after the oral administration of saline (HU), allopurinol at a dose of 10 mg/kg (HU+ALP), or CTLE at doses of 30 mg/kg (HU+CTLE30) and 100 mg/kg (HU+CTLE100) in hyperuricemic mice for 7 days. The rectangular bars and their error bars represent the means and standard deviations, respectively (n = 5). The asterisks indicate values that are significantly different from those of the HU group (p < 0.05).
